I spent the past week in upstate New York, at Tapawingo with my mother and Mark (and his little brother) and my beautiful grandmother and a dancing constellation of aunts and uncles and myriad cousins. Lots of mosquitos, too, and a few wild dogs, and countless stories and memories and emotions. This was the land where I drew my first breath.
My mum has a photo on her blog of one evening we spent, after our island picnic, floating candle-studded piece of moss out into the dark lake. There are more photos, too, but they can't quite capture the being there, and this alone makes me feel shy about sharing.
It's nice to be back, though, very, both in Boulder (which feels like home) and to Gaia (which is home in a different and deeper way). When it comes to the latter we're in the process of dreaming up a summer of polishing and revisioning, so as to help improve the navigation and performance of the whole site and to, at the same time, help clarify and support what's emerging here, and it's so beautiful to return to those others I'm so fortunate to be working with.

eeee! Pretty pictures! I'm so glad you were in such a beautiful place, Siona! It doesn't look like you could get cell or internet service there which is GOOD! I can imagine the candles floating out on the dark surface of the lake just like stacks of rocks appear like magic in our rivers here in OR. You know that a human hand set the stones up or pushed the candles out into the darkenss but once they leave the natural of humanity they become mystical and solitary.
I'm looking forward to seeing our Summer Gaia site after it's polishing. There was a comment on Gaia Networking from ~KES about getting the Gaia Team back into the spotlight for awhile using Bryan our Featured Member's Making It All Click interviews. That post isn't on this link. I couln't find it but we're just as excited to help be the change on this side!
Smiles!

Welcome back Siona, you are both loved, and appreciated for all that you do here.
“A dancing constellation of aunts and uncles…”
Mmmm. That's some pretty gorgeous language art, there.
Thank you and I must say that the pictures & view look amazing. I am glad you had an opportunity to vist upstate New York. It is so beautiful.
